Bishop of the Devil

May 4, 1997.

In the Western Conference semifinals, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Utah Jazz is about to begin...

The Salt Lake City Energy Solutions Arena is currently buzzing with noise. The noise is so harsh that it almost overturns the ceiling of the arena.

"Shh..."

"The general is defeated!"

"You can't win a single game in this series!"

The crazy fans booed extremely wildly when the Trail Blazers players came on the court!

The Trail Blazers had naturally played against the Jazz before, but they were not so crazy. After all, it was only the regular season at that time...

Now that we have reached the crucial Western Conference Finals, the fans are getting more and more crazy!

But the boos all over the sky had no impact on the Blazers players...

Generally speaking, new players will definitely feel flustered when faced with this kind of formation. How can this be playing football? It looks like Jazz fans could riot at any moment...

A riot of nearly 20,000 people, and a few hundred players would probably be torn into pieces.

But the new players of the Trail Blazers are all determined people. Do you want to scare them with this kind of formation? It’s just a ridiculous dream!

Even Ben and Rashid bared their teeth and glared at the fans on both sides of the aisle...

Kobe looked calm, as if the fans on both sides of the aisle were flies, and didn't even glance at him.

As for Xiao Ao, this young man seems to be much more confident after his last appearance in the finale. At this moment, facing the boos from the sky, he just smiled bitterly and didn't take it to heart.

As for Richard, he doesn't care about the boos from these fans. On the contrary, the stronger the boos are, the more it arouses Richard's abnormal excitement...

Look at the 20,000 people in this arena, all booing themselves, how exciting!

Most of the 20,000 fans at Energy Solutions Arena were booing Richard...

Because they know very well that in the last series between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers, Richard's wave of operations can definitely be regarded as a masterstroke. Without Richard, the Lakers would have killed the Trail Blazers...

In this case, the fans must boo the one with the greatest impact!

…

Players from both sides have already entered the arena, and the battle is about to begin!

"Ben, Sa, Rasheed, Robinson, Kobe, the five of you will start the game. Remember after you come on the field, be sure to defend well, especially the pick-and-roll between Malone and Stockton. You must pay special attention!"

"Rashid, always pay attention to Ben and Kobe. Once Kobe switches defense to Malone, you can respond to Kobe at any time. You must not let Malone attack our inside line!"

"Remember, protect yourself!"

"If they dare to make any moves on the court, call me back immediately!"

The game was about to begin, and Richard took the trouble to give instructions to the starting players over and over...

Although Richard has said these words to the players many times in the past two days, the game is about to start, and the head coach must say something. Like a stupid goose, he stands on the sidelines and says nothing. I'm afraid you'd be a fool to glare at players...

No, that's probably Grandpa Lu...

…

Richard's last words directly aroused the ferocity of the Blazers players!

"Don't worry, coach, if they dare to touch us even a hair, I will definitely make them suffer!"

"Haha, I feel like they don't have the guts!"

Ben and Rashid had ferocious expressions on their faces. They were quite worried that the world would not be in chaos...

"Hehe, coach, if they really dare to do something dirty, hehe..."

"I'll help you destroy one of their players in one game, hehe..."

Lao Yin X Bowen on the bench laughed, and the sound made everyone's scalp tingle.

After playing a season, the players must be extremely familiar with their teammates. Bowen, a master of dirty tricks, this season, apart from the time he cheated on Jaylen Rose, later because of Kobe playing with others on the court. Talking nonsense, Bowen's backcourt partner showed off his power again and made his opponent take a rest...

One month!

He cheated twice in one season, but this guy didn't receive a single technical foul throughout the entire season. It's simply unreasonable!

The Trail Blazers players have a feeling that this league is going to use dirty tricks, and Bowen estimates that it may be super giant level.

…

"Okay, guys, get ready to go on stage!" Richard clapped his hands and shouted.

The starting five began to take off their training clothes and prepare to appear...

As soon as these five people took off their training uniforms, the fans near the Trail Blazers bench immediately gasped!

Good guy, these five people were all cupped, and the area of ​​cupping was quite wide. Almost everyone's shoulders were covered with blood marks.

It looks like there are blood marks all over the body!

How do these fans know about the Eastern secret art of cupping? They looked at the Blazers' starting five in stunned silence...

"God! What kind of misfortunes did they encounter..."

"The plane crashed when they came to Salt Lake City?! Why are they all covered in scars!"

The exclamations of a group of fans attracted the attention of the on-site cameramen. They pointed the camera at several players, and the figures of five people covered in blood marks appeared on the big screen above the arena!

The entire arena was suddenly silent...

Everyone is wondering what happened to these Blazers players? Why does it look so miserable...

Even if he was beaten severely, he wouldn't have so many blood marks all over his body...

Is this some kind of devil's special training? ! It seems impossible. I have never heard of any team being stupid enough to improvise and conduct special training before the big game...

That pretty much leaves only one explanation.

Self-abuse...

Or the blood marks that I made...

"Oh my God! They all said that Richard is a lunatic, but now I absolutely believe it. The players this man brought out are so crazy that they even beat their own people!"

"The only way to explain it is that the scars all over my body make my scalp numb! These crazy pioneers will beat themselves up even if they go crazy!"

"I hope our home team players can calm down a little bit. Otherwise, I feel they may suffer a loss. After all, the other team is a group of lunatics..."

"It's so cruel. You can be so cruel to yourself! What kind of team is this? It's terrible!"

The fans of the Jazz's home team started talking one after another. The blood marks all over their bodies were really too bloody. Even the Jazz fans in the Devil's home court found it difficult to accept...

Richard naturally heard what the fans were talking about.

This made him a little confused. He didn't expect cupping to have such a shocking effect. The intensity of the boos from the originally crazy Jazz fans seemed to have dropped a lot...
